When I was younger and I happened to have hurt myself from
falling or whatever other mischief I could get up to, my dad would always tell me that I could
make the pain go away with my head. “The mind is a strong tool” is what he
would say, all along the lines of mind over matter.
To this day I believe that the mind and your attitude is
where it all begins; whether it’s to do with work/school, a relationship or
HEALTH. If your mindset isn’t right you are setting yourself up for failure.
So if healthy is your goal I think it’s important you start
with a healthy & positive mind then the rest will follow.
If you feel like you are not achieving the goals you have
set for yourself, think about it, are you standing in the way of yourself?
Are you constantly negative? Do you have negative thoughts
about yourself? About your goals? Do you have a ‘can’t-do-attitude?
Maybe those are the things standing between you and your
goals. And I’m not just talking about fitness and health goals, but also other
life goals. If you have a negative mindset or attitude towards them, there is
no way you’ll be able to achieve them.
Firstly, stop thinking that you can’t do something. Even if
something sound like it will be challenging, instead of thinking “I can’t do
that” just think “I will try my best” or “yes I accept the challenge!”
Secondly, don’t be so harsh on yourself! If you mess up or
have a little fallback, just get back on it. No need to think about “how
horrible” you did. At least you tried & you will try again!
The mind is a strong tool, so use it ;)
Maybe all you need are some positives thoughts, because
after all you have the power to change and improve yourself, your body and life
and it all start in your head!
So true! I'm trying to stay positive because I'm a little tired of how negative I can be. I definitely agree that every thought we think is creating our future. Lovely post! x http://coffeeatmidnight13.blogspot.co.uk/
